Masuma Sultan Begum ( Persian: معصومہ سلطان بیگم; born c. 1508) was a Mughal princess and the daughter of the first Mughal emperor, Babur. She is frequently mentioned in the Humayun-nama by her sister, Gulbadan Begum, who calls her sister 'Elder sister Moon' (mah chacha). [1]
Masuma Sultan Begum was the daughter of Babur and his fourth wife, Masuma Sultan Begum. [2] She was born in Kabul, and her mother died giving birth to her. She was given her mother's name. [3] In 1511, Babur entrusted Kabul to his younger brother Nasir Mirza and set out for Samarkand.
In 1517, when Masuma Sultan Begum was nine years old, Babur married her to the twenty-one year old Muhammad Zaman Mirza. [4] He was the son of Badi' al-Zaman Mirza, and the grandson of Sultan Husayn Mirza Bayqara. [5] His mother was the daughter of Tahamtan Beg, and the niece of Asad Beg. [6] After Masuma Sultan Begum's marriage with him, Babur sent him to Balkh. [4]
She became a widow at the age of thirty-one when Muhammad Zaman Mirza died in the Battle of Chausa. [7]
